SpaceX's S-1 filing with the SEC discloses 18,712 bitcoin on its balance sheet at $1.45B fair value, purchased for just $661M. The company targets a $1.75T valuation in what could be the largest IPO in history.
SpaceX officially filed its S-1 registration statement with the SEC on May 20, confirming plans for a Nasdaq listing under ticker SPCX. The filing reveals the company holds 18,712 BTC at a fair value of $1.45 billion as of May 2026 — purchased for $661 million, representing a 120% unrealized gain.
The holding places SpaceX among the largest corporate bitcoin treasuries. For comparison, Tesla holds 11,509 BTC while Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) leads with 843,738 BTC.
SpaceX is targeting a $1.75 trillion valuation with an $80 billion raise, which would surpass Saudi Aramco's $29.4 billion debut as the largest IPO ever. The roadshow begins June 4 with listing expected June 12.
The filing also reveals Anthropic is contracted to pay SpaceX $1.25 billion per month for compute through 2029, highlighting the convergence of AI infrastructure and space-based data services. SpaceX generated $18.5 billion in revenue in 2025, with Starlink accounting for roughly 45%.
The company behind the world's biggest IPO also happens to be one of the largest corporate bitcoin holders — and nobody knew until now.
The real signal isn't just the $1.45B position — it's that SpaceX bought at an average cost of ~$35,300 per BTC and held through the entire cycle. This is not a treasury diversification story. This is conviction. When a company with $1.75T implied valuation holds 2.4% of its balance sheet in bitcoin, it normalizes BTC as a reserve asset at the highest levels of corporate finance. The IPO also creates a new avenue for indirect BTC exposure — every SPCX shareholder is effectively long bitcoin by proxy.

US spot bitcoin ETFs have swung to net inflows of roughly $320M for 2026 (Bloomberg tally; ~$349M per Askthetape) — the first positive year-to-date print since April — after investors added about $4.6B since Aug 19, erasing a $5.69B deficit accumulated by July 13. BlackRock's IBIT captured ~$1.02B over four sessions as Bitcoin rallied ~35% from ~$64,100 to an eight-month high of $87,265.
On Monday, Sept 21, the European Central Bank switched on Pontes, a platform linking distributed-ledger markets to the Eurosystem's TARGET Services so eligible banks and market infra providers can settle tokenized bonds and funds in central-bank money. Christine Lagarde announced the go-live at Friday's Eurogroup, calling it 'a digital euro made available for banks.' It lands three days after the SEC's Innovation Exemption opened onchain trading of tokenized US stocks — the institutional tokenization race is now transatlantic.
